Roger of Hoveden

For the period 732–1148 he chiefly drew upon an extant, but unpublished chronicle, the Historia Saxonum sive Anglorum post obitum Bedae (British Museum manuscript Reg. 13 A. 6), which was composed about 1150.

From Hoveden's name and the internal evidence of his work, he is believed to have been a native of Howden in the East Riding of Yorkshire.
